Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of title co-crystal, C10H8N2·2C7H7NO2, comprises a centrosymmetric 4,4'-bi-pyridine mol-ecule, and a 2-amino-benzoic acid mol-ecule in a general position. The latter is effectively planar [C-C-C-O torsion angle = 5.0 (3)°] owing to an intra-molecular N-H⋯O(carbon-yl) hydrogen bond. Three-mol-ecule aggregates are formed via O-H⋯N(pyrid-yl) hydrogen bonds and these are connected into supra-molecular layers in the bc plane by N-H⋯O(carbon-yl) hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions between pyridyl and benzene rings [inter-centroid distance = 3.634 (2) Å]. Layers are connected along the a axis by weak π-π inter-actions between benzene rings [3.964 (2) Å].

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the...
